Ottawa's Top 20 (July 19, 1986)

This is the week that CFRA switches to a weird hybrid Top 40/Oldies format and slashes the countdown chart from 35 to 20. Three days earlier, beloved DJ Mark Elliott quit live on air over these changes. See that story here:

Anyway, let's get on with our first CFRA Top 20 chart...

Since the chart changed there is no Last Week vs This Week so let's try to figure out what we can...

Peter Gabriel holds #1 with "Sledgehammer".

There are a bunch of what you could call "big movers" this week with the chart re-formatting. You could say Janet Jackson is the biggest jump with the re-format. She checks in at #17 after being #34 last week. Similarly, "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins jumps from #32 to #19 and a song so great I have no memory of it: "Say It, Say It" by E.G. Daily moves from #33 to #20.

And we'll leave it there since we can't really figure out the biggest loser or the highest debut this week.

Ottawa's Top 35 (July 12, 1986)

Today we're looking at the Top 35 songs in Ottawa on July 12, 1986 according to CFRA. We'll do this until early August. That's when CFRA changes formats away from Top 40 and stops the weekly charts. This is our very last Top 35 chart from CFRA. After this issue the chart gets cut to a Top 20 as the station moves to a weird Top 40/Oldies hybrid format for about a month before just going Oldies in August.

On July 16, 1986 Mark Elliott, the longtime host of the Top 35 and well-loved evening DJ at CFRA would quit on air over the format change and slashing of the chart. See the story about that here...

For now, let's look at the very last Top 35 chart...

Peter Gabriel takes over #1 from from Madonna with "Sledgehammer".

The biggest movers on the chart seem to be Kim Mitchell with "Patio Lanterns" (#30 to #21) and Belinda Carlisle with "Mad About You" (#27 to #19). However, we featured both of those just last week. So here's the third biggest mover of the week jumping 7 spots from #18 to #11. It's Glass Tiger (my favourite band at this point in time) with "Thin Red Line".

The biggest drop this week appears to be The Psychedelic Furs with "Pretty In Pink as it drops 13 spots from #17 to #30.

And, as "West End Girls" completes a precipitous drop from #1 and leaves the chart this week, we we;lcome a new Pet Shop Boys track as our highest debut at #31. Here's "Opportunities (Let's Make Lots Of Money)".
